{"product_id":"birgit-weyhe-rude-girl-9783863914028","title":"Rude Girl","description":"The white German graphic novelist Birgit Weyhe teaches at a US college through an academic exchange program. At a conference of American Germanists in the Midwest, she is accused of cultural expropriation. Is she exploiting her privileges as a white writer when she tells stories about Black people?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShe meets Priscilla Layne, an African American professor of German studies with Caribbean roots. Growing up, Priscilla is labelled an 'Oreo': too white for her Black classmates, and too Black for the white kids. Rebelling against everything and everyone all at once, she joins the skinhead movement and becomes a rude girl, only to discover a community where she feels valued. Music, clothes, hair, food, class, race, gender, education - her life and identity are a complex composite.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut how should Birgit Weyhe tell a life story like Priscilla's? What mistakes does she need to avoid? The act of storytelling itself becomes its own narrative layer in this unique graphic biography.","brand":"Voland \u0026 Quist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53919345017174,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/birgit-weyhe-rude-girl-9783863914028","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
